Teaching a course on Maya Deren @ Doctoral programme in Literature, Performing Arts, Film and Culture / Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences, Zagreb; Winter Semester, 23/24.

Film projects left unfinished; films that remained unseen; film ideas realised in non-filmic media: The heterogenous materialities and precarious traces of these practices upset the notions of what cinema consists of. A film undone is both less and more than “a film”; the dispersed elements, not integrated into a final format, are also evidence of an extensive labour process, exceeding its expected result.
